My profile picture is actually my daughter Kayleigh who was 6 in the picture (but is now 9 years old). At 15 months old she started losing her hair on her head. It had all gone inside 3 months and she was diagnosed with alopecia totalis. She now wears a hair system and since she got it, will not go out of the house without it. While she is a completely changed girl since she 'got hair', she is still shy about talking about it. We tried to join a childrens alopecia group a couple of years ago but she refused to go because she did not want the other kids to see her with no hair. I am joining this group so that I can hopefully help her come to terms with her condition by introducing it to her gradually. This was the only UK site I could find which I think is rather sad.
Are you age 18 or older?

Hi Kev, I'm glad you found this site, maybe you can show Kayleigh pictures of the children on this site to make her feel a comfortable about joining the Alopecia group. She is a beautiful little girl, good luck!
